Deep amber with one inch cream color head. Floral hop aroma, some pine. Taste is a blast of grapefruit rind, pine needles, resins. Some sweet malt but hard to find. Here is an IPA that is just too bitter for me. I give! Bottled the 4th week of February.

Aug 16, 2008 Grapefruit hops, caramelly dry finnish and a nice mouthfeel. Can’t help but to love this.

Aug 14, 2008 12 oz bottle from a 6 pack from Cardinal Liquors (Frankfort, IL). Poured a fiery orangish amber hue hazed with a nice offwhite head that laces very well. Aromas are largely floral and caramel malt, striking a fine balance. Some sweeter citrus notes waft in as well. Initial is very good, very bitter hop presence balanced by a very good caramel bicuity malt profile. Finishes bitter and with some remembrances of the wonderful malt. Very well balanced, not your typical grapefruit bomb. I really liked this IPA. On one of my higher IPA shelves. Cheers!

Aug 13, 2008 I thought the aroma was very bland without much hops presence. Pour was nice...amber in color with a small frothy head. Tast was a nice blend of malt and pine hops. Actually quite refreshing.

Aug 13, 2008 Malty aroma.
Unpleasant inital malt flavour on front of palate with IPA bitterness. Cloying flavour. Disappointed. Maybe they send their bad brews to Australia. Will have to try again but will put at end of list.

Aug 8, 2008 12oz bottle (most of a six pack actually). copper pour with good sized white head and foamy lacing. smells of citrus and piney hops. taste is sharp hops, light tropical fruits - balanced nicely with bready malts. finishes up bitter, more bitter and spicey (ginger?). tingly medium palate. all around fantastic ipa.
